Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World's Most Notorious Nazi by Neal Bascomb

4.0

This book was fascinating! The process of capturing a monster right under the noses of a foreign government kept me riveted. It was also satisfying to see Israeli agents able to get justice for some of the atrocities committed against them, but especially doing so with so much precision, professionalism, and detachment. It would have been so easy for them to let desire for revenge get the better of them but they didn't in the slightest, despite several members of the team having personally suffered as a result of Eichmann's decisions and orders.

If I had a complaint, it would be wanting a little more backstory. Anyone who's done much reading on the Holocaust knows the name Adolf Eichmann and the basics of what he was responsible for, but I would've liked more detail on everything.
